DemonMage posted:Skype uses very little. I'd imagine most use very little these days though since they should be using C2DM/GCM since forever ago. Skype auto-signs out for me after about half an hour or so. This has persisted across devices, and I used to be able to leave it on pretty much permanently in the background, so I assume it's something server-side. Kind of frustrating.

Yeah, I've had some unfortunate issues with it lately, though it's rarely that consistent. Most days it works just fine, then on rare occasion it'll sign itself out and refuse to sign back in. Only happened the last month or so though. But it's what everyone uses on desktop for me, and usually works fine on my phone, so ehh. Hopefully they get poo poo sorted but it's not too terrible usually.

I need a car maintenance app because i'm really really bad at keeping track of when i need to do maintenance on my car. I see a couple of apps, aCar and Car Maintenance Reminder (Free and paid options each). Anyone have any suggestions as to which i should get, or if there are other apps i'm not aware of? Thanks!

Granted, I use it primarily for mileage monitoring, but I do have reminders set for maintenance based on time and/or mileage, and that works pretty well. It can be a little overwhelming initially setting up those reminders, but once they're there, you're pretty much set.

XIII posted:TweetLanes is really nice, but for some reason I still prefer Boid. I use Boid 95% of the time and Lanes the other 5%, just to see how it's coming along. I finally uninstalled the official app a few days ago since I never use it anymore. I look forward to using Boid once it gets notifications. It seems to be the nicest of all the Twitter apps. Unfortunately, without notifications, I'd never remember to check Twitter.

Meh, I always turn off notifications since I get them via email (well, when Twitter decides to actually send them), but I could see your point. I'm looking forward to trying Carbon...if it ever comes out.

Does the latest beta version of Nova Launcher break the Widgetsoid (or any other) notification toggles for anyone? Galaxy Nexus, stock rooted. Edit: xda reports that yes, it does. ClassActionFursuit fucked around with this message at 02:18 on Aug 12, 2012 |

Because of my ongoing connection issues with my StraightTalk plan, I want to try one of those "APN apps" that are supposed to set things up "properly" automatically. Does anyone know of a good one? I'm at my wits end trying to get my new GNex to be able to use data.

Even if I have icon labels turned off it displays folder names anyway if they're docked. Most of my gestures I have to do twice before it recognizes what I'm doing and I'm still getting grief from some apps if I try to add their widgets from the drawer.

Take it with a grain of salt, I'm just pissy my NS is back to normal pants making GBS threads behavior. Entertaining the idea of going back to 4.0.4 and breaking OTA.

On the phone with them now, no high hopes for "Claire" (  ) from tech support being able to do much...especially when so far some of her advice was that "too many apps" take up memory and slow the internet down...Edit: Yeah, that was a bust. They said everything is fine on their end, and that I "shouldn't expect any internet on less than four bars anyway" while completely ignoring the fact that I said I was in multiple areas earlier with FULL BARS and still no internet/data service. Fan-loving-tastic. If I can't get this poo poo to work, I'm basically out at least $100, depending on how much I can re-sell my Nexus for.

Before you decide to go to 4.0.4 I'd at least try doing a fastboot flash of JRO03E instead of letting it OTA. Might not solve your problem but it's better than it was for her at least.

What's a good note taking app that allows both writing/drawing with a capacitive pen, a physical keyboard, and also recording audio at the same time? I am thinking about using my nexus 7 (or buying an asus transformer) to take notes in class.

Any decent WiFi media syncing apps out there? Basically I just want to have a set list of music synced up with my phone every night, but I haven't found an app that's capable of doing this. I'm sure there's plenty of apps to do it plugged into the computer, but I'm trying to avoid that.

It also features Tasker integration; so you can automate when it syncs.

Is there an app that disables the on screen soft buttons? I figure maybe there's an app that puts a notification in the bar that when you have it on, the soft keys are disabled. My toddler likes to play around with Skitch in my Nexus 7 and he always hits the home key.

It might be possible to have an app that registers itself as a launcher and just does nothing when you hit home, but I don't know that such a thing exists.

See, the thing is, I like "IMO" for IM, but I can't tell if it's C2DM or not. I know it was late to the party, but I don't know if it still is. It is ICS-lovely, though. At one time, I paid for Beejive. I should see what that's like again. Craptacular! fucked around with this message at 21:31 on Aug 13, 2012 |

abraham linksys posted:What's wrong with the official Twitter client? I used Tweetbot on iOS, but haven't really noticed anything missing in the official app. Plume just looks ugly as all hell by comparison. Don't be put off by the anime in the screenshots, Twicca has a very clean interface and is my favorite Twitter client so far. It launches really quickly, loads tweets fast, updates often, and has nice bonus stuff like user-muting and color-coding without feeling like a cluttered mess like Plume. Best of all, it has a very robust in-app image viewer so you don't keep getting bumped out to a Web browser.
